Joan Said:

Are online university degrees worth anything?

We Answered:

Unless it is from a reputable school that also happens to offer an online degree program....NO. Most of the online degree programs are "for profit" schools which means they are incorporated for the purpose of earning money. In comparison, most reputable schools are not-for-profit organizations which means that while they may turn a profit, these profits are put back into the school be it for research, faculty, students, etc.

In today's job environment, unless you go to a top college, a bachellors degree is equivalent to getting a high school diploma to most employers...it is expected. Getting an online degree from one of the many scam schools out there is equivalent to getting a GED...i.e. it isn't worth a whole lot.

Your money would be better spent going to a trade school (which is a pretty darn good investment if you can't get into and/or don't have the time to attend a traditional institution)

I have thought of doing this too.I think you need to talk to friends that actually have done this before, you jump off
into the unknown.Most Colleges are probably legit but, what
about the price?Some maybe too high so are a rip off.
Investigate before you sign the dotted line.Good Luck.
You need to be a good Typist and have a fast equip Computer.May need to purchase programs.
